My Attempt at a Walking Video

Image
Oh boy, I've gone and done it. Well, done something at least. I tried my hand at a walking video. I love those city exploring videos from Action Kid and Urbanist Exploring Cities, so I had the opportunity and said what the heck. If it does well I'll do more.  I couldn't live stream to my other YouTube channel yet, so I did it to Horror with Marchese and Buller.  Either way, check it out. Let me know if you'd like to see more. And like and subscribe if you dig.  See you next time.  WCM 

Planning a Pizza video for Random Will YouTube Channel

Image
I'm planning a pizza video for my YouTube channel Random Will.   That's right, I've finally filmed--eh, okay. I had filmed the pizza preparation and cooking. I just haven't sat down and recorded commentary and put the video together. It's due to a few things, one being afraid it won't be just right. But I have to follow my own advice and just jump in. So I'm going to start hopefully recording something soon.  I will show you how easy it is to make your own pizza where you can use your own toppings and make it the way you like it, without the crazy costs of frozen supermarket pizza, or the rising expense of fast food.  I plan on making more cooking videos for that channel, and because it's going to be random stuff--hence the Random part of the name--I will be doing other fun things (things I find the most fun and entertaining about YouTube).  Either way, I'm going to see what I do and I'll update soon.  Talk soon.  WCM

Squid Games Halloween Special

Image
We're back. After a long time. It was good to create a new episode. Hopefully, it will start gaining subscribers and views to do them more often--these edits take quite a bit of time.  Gary and I talk about Squid games in this episode. We also talk a bit about Halloween and other things in the bloopers section.  Hope you enjoy and please like and subscribe if you do.  See you next time.  WCM

Kale

Image
  Kale. 10/23/2021: Been eating this for lunch just about every day for the past couple weeks or so. Acid reflux has lessened greatly and I cut the acid pill I take at night in half. Not too bad. Oh the salad and a cup of soup. The salad has seeds, nuts and sweet potatoes. Apples and raisins/craisins. A small amount of grilled chicken with a type of vinaigrette, I think.  At night I have broccoli and potatoes, steamed, with a meat. Usually 2 sausages or 2 turkey burgers. Breakfast is simple, since I'm on the run into work. An everything bagel and 1oz of cream cheese.  I'm now down to 245lbs. Not too bad.  WCM 

I Have to Do This!

  I was thinking about this blog and how it's basically a YouTube channel without video. Blogs can have video, and pictures. But it's a bit different from the content on video sites.  Maybe blogging is more intimate, maybe the words are an added extra layer that YouTube videos don't have. Though, you can type words there, too. In the comments section. But be honest, most viewers don't read the comment section because the majority of that site is for video.  This site can also be where I tie the YouTube stuff all together. The Horror channel, my random stuff channel (that I haven't done anything for as of yet -- but will be trying something out soon) and anything else that is going on.  The most important thing is to have fun. Be creative. And hopefully, God willing, there will be people who dig what's happening and come along for the ride.  Let's see.  I always said before: if I could help someone with my art then it's all worth it. Just like when I watc

This Moment

Just remember. We are here, now. Not tomorrow. Not yesterday. Right now. No matter what your decision is, it is one you have to make. But remember this: the time we have on this planet is very short. Right now, at this very moment, you can pick up a phone, or get on the computer, and tell someone you love them. See how they are doing.  Nothing is guaranteed in this world. But one thing we have is this very moment.  Don't waste it.  WCM

Weight Loss Update August 23rd, 2021

Image
I am currently 258.2 lbs. My wife has lost a lot of weight, so I figured I'd step up and loose, as well. And for other reasons, like health.   I'll have more on this soon, just wanted to throw my progress out there for those who may be doing the same and may find influence in these posts, or give you strength, who knows. I haven't commented on my weight loss for a long while.  I started when I was like 306, but by biggest was closer to 320.  I told myself when I went under 260lbs I'd sign up for Fit Bit Premium--which I've been using regular Fit Bit to count calories and such through everything--to check out more stats and see if I like the service. But counting calories and moving around are all you really need to do this.  Plus with all that's going on out there in the world, it's best to be healthy.  Talk soon.  WCM

Update 8/8/2021

I've been very busy. Haven't posted here in quite a while. But of course, you know this.  I have a few thoughts to get out properly, but I'll throw out a few updates here:  I've lost more weight. For those on a weight journey, more info to come.  I have some thoughts about writing and creativity that I want to get out. And thoughts about a problem I've had for practically my whole life and how, even though it hampers me quite a bit, I don't let it get me down. There is more I need to do to get it under control and hopefully get rid of it, and discover paths of ways to do this, and if you have this issue, or others that are similar, then maybe you want to come along for that ride.  I do have a game channel called Got Game Will Play. If you are interested, I only really have Uncharted Fortune part 1, and a couple of random Call of Duty videos. But if you want to see more, let me know.  There are quite a few things happening in technology that are pretty cool that

Army of the Dead - Movie Review

Gary and I review Army of the Dead. Had a fun time with this one.  There were parts in the movie that just didn't add up, but overall I enjoyed it. Check out the video above to see what Gary and Kris thought about it.  Please like, share and subscribe if you enjoy the content.  R.I.P. Chico. You will forever be the original Censor Dog.  WCM

Alive

It's a beautiful day outside. It's hard for some to admit, with all the things that are happening in the world today. But it is a beautiful day outside. Another day alive. I always think back to Stephen Hawking, and how long he survived when they say he wouldn't. He beat the odds. But while he was alive he had no control over his arms or legs. Couldn't even turn his head. He typed through someone else. I believe he could move his eyes and face a bit, but even that was limited. And still the man wrote books and gave lectures (he did the speaking through a device). I can imagine how hard that would be, and yet there are some who have everything--meaning their body parts and such, and don't do a fraction of what this man had accomplished. When I look at things this way, it makes me think. Even if I'm down it lightens the load a bit to see I have the capability to change things. No matter how small they are. Because no matter how far down in the dumps you are, you c

Fast Food

Gary and I talk about fast food and our experience with it. This was an old episode during the Lockdown. I just got around to finishing the editing. More to come soon. And if you enjoyed this, please consider likening and subscribing. And maybe even share the video. Thank you. See you next time. WCM

Missed Opportunities

  Looking back I see many days without a post. I see many opportunities for me to have put my thoughts up here, but missed them because I either thought I'd put it off until later, or I'd think of a more polished way to present them.  Sometimes that moment never comes. In fact, a lot of the time. Things come up. You put it all on hold and later the ideas look spoiled, aged. I think, well, I can try and go back and remember what I was feeling in that moment. But it's gone.  Writing (to me) is the same. Except you can wait here and there (it's a bit more forgiving) and editing is definitely the way to go. But on a different scale, my writing has been put off in the past(and probably will be in the future) because I wasn't in the mood, or I wanted to wait for the thoughts to mature. But then I end up loosing them because I couldn't remember the feeling and moment I was in.  I had said before that this was, in sorts, a dump for my thoughts as well as a platform for

Mortal Kombat Review

  After a long period of no videos, Gary and I are back. This time around we are reviewing Mortal Kombat 2021 the movie.  See if you can find all the Easter Eggs.  I skipped the food episode to rush this one along. Hope you enjoy. If you did, please subscribe. Or just subscribe anyway. haha. We'd really appreciate it.  WCM

Weigh Loss Update April 21st

Image
Down to 285.2  For a bit I had gone up to 288, but that is normal. Some call it plateauing. It's why some go off of diets. Because they see they've hit a wall and quit. But usually you keep going for another few days, or week, and you'll move past that wall.  Other factors can slow down your weigh loss number, too. Like if you lift weights. Lean muscle weighs more than fat. Though, it helps to burn it, as well.  So don't be discouraged. Go by how you look and feel.  And of course, here's proof from my scale app.  Let's keep doing this!  Oh, and I've cut my coffee down to one cup a day. Ugh, the feeling going through this. Especially when you're like me and are used to drinking multiple cups a day.  Pop a pain killer and wait it out. That's if you're cutting back, or quitting, coffee.  I love coffee. I don't think I'll ever fully quit it. But I was drinking way too much.  I'll talk soon.  WCM

Weight Loss Update

Image
Haven't talked about my weight loss for quite a bit. I believe the last time I had, it was before the whole pandemic happened. During that time I went off the path. Not by much, but by enough.  I thought this was a good entry. A little cring, but it helps to get it off my mind, and it just might help someone else who happens to read this to get motivated.  I had not gone back up to my old weight during the pandemic, but I did not continue to loose. And I had gained weight. Too much eating and not enough exercise. In fact, the episode I'm working on for YouTube has Gary and I talking about food and what we like, and things we've eaten during the pandemic. It's older footage I had saved incase we couldn't film, to use if I didn't have anything to work on. And look what happened: I haven't put something up since January, or so. This was more or less from last fall, or coming into it. But it shows what was up around the begining of the virus, just before we were

GTA Coming to Switch?

Image
  I'm going to throw this out there. I've tried looking for any news about it and have hit walls of conjecture. These opinions were mostly on YouTube.  The company of the game, Rockstar, has Bully on the Switch currently. So one might say why not the GTA series, right? I mean, GTA below 4 is currently on cellphones. GTA 4 was done on PS3--and from what I've read and heard the Switch is more powerful than the PS3, if not the same power.  Or so.  And let's not forget that even GTA 5 was released on the PS3 before the refined version came to the PS4. So that could even be done, more or less, on the Switch as well.  Come on. We've seen new gen games come to the Switch. Doom Eternal and even Assasin's Creed. Albeit a bit fuzzier than the latest-gen counterparts; but it's been done.  So, we see it's digitally possible. Is it financially feasible for the company?  That's another story. The Switch has been around since early 2017, and one might say it is co

It's Working!

  I am happy to say my plan has been working. I used to play video games a lot. It relaxed me. But that has pretty much gone to nothing in the past three or more years.  Some think they are a waste of time. Perhaps it depends on what you're doing, or should be doing, when you play hours on end. But it can be very entertaining and stress relieving, as well. There's that old report I used to cling to as kid about how it helps your hand eye coordination. Thinking about it, it keeps me away from looking at the news--which I think is most of the problem these days.  There are many things it helps if you do a search. But these last two days, since I plugged my PS3 back in, I found I put the controller down every so often and did the dishes, and did this and that. And last night, before going to bed (and I really should have tried to get to bed lol--but that's another post which actually might be a byproduct of this whole thing that's been going on), I edited the episode I'

Bring Back That Feeling

  I did it. I got my PS3 working. Not what I expected. Online friends don't see me as being online. Or maybe they do. But I asked and they said no. Eh, either way. It's fun running through Liberty city. This game brings back some good memories.  WCM 

Let's Try Something

Image
  I'm thinking of trying something new. Anything. I need to do it. I've been feeling some energy here and there, related to starting up projects again, but it doesn't feel right. Not totally and not yet. When I start to give it a go does, but then I hit a wall and put everything down. I'll mess around with old stories, like things I'd begun a long time ago, then just give up. So I'm going to try something new. I'm going to force myself to have some fun with my PS3, GTA 4. One of my favorite of the series. Just thinking about it brings me back. And I've been watching some old YouTubers I love a great deal. LA Beast is one and another is Steve1989. One I also recently started watching (when I say recent I mean within the last few years or so) is Badlands Chuggs. Brings me back to when YouTube was fun and creative and, most important, un-blatantly-political. Well, I'm going to unravel these cords and see if my PS3 starts up and go from there. I'm al

Still Here

Still here. Just haven't been feeling pretty much anything lately. I will be trying to get back into things. Never give up!  I'm going to try and get into things slowly. Everything has just been draining. And I am not complaining, but I was thinking about it and had to admit to it--not fool myself. I wondered: why am I not writing, editing video, thinking about things and writing about them on my blog--even reading or listening to music. And I realized I had spurts of ideas and feelings, but when I made the effort to open the device to work on it, I told myself maybe later. And later never came.  Until now, I guess I can say. Here. With this post.  My cat passed. That hurt greatly. It was pretty much out of nowhere. Instantly. And then I started thinking about others who have lost loved ones throughout all this madness.  So I've turned off the news, only listening to necessary stuff, and that helped a great deal. It's harder than you think. Because you want to know what
